[Solved] Failed to load ApplicationContext. BeanCreationException...

Error creating bean with name '...'. IllegalArgumentException: warning no match for this type name. [Java, Spring Boot, JUnit]


Problem

After solving this problem related to the execution of a Spring Boot application or any of the JUnit test cases in Eclipse, I got following kind of error messages:

java.lang.IllegalStateException: Failed to load ApplicationContext
...
Caused by: org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'projectingArgumentResolverBeanPostProcessor' defined in class path resource [org/springframework/data/web/config/ProjectingArgumentResolverRegistrar.class]: BeanPostProcessor before instantiation of bean failed;

Solution

The problem of my application was the wrong path given in @AfterThrowing annotation to the pointcut parameter.

Wrong line: @AfterThrowing(pointcut="execution(* com.infy.service.ProjectAllocationServiceImpl.*(..))",throwing="exception")

After correction:

@AfterThrowing(pointcut="execution(* com.infy.infyinterns.service.ProjectAllocationServiceImpl.*(..))",throwing="exception")
